During the 2013 MaxForm Life Challenge contest, I loved working out with kettlebells. These workouts made me feel pumped and strong. Right now, I'm still training with kettlebells and I'm getting stronger for a marathon, 100-mile ride and two half Ironmans this year! Last year was for building me and this year is for my mom. She was recently diagnosed with ovarian cancer. My Vancouver Max Muscle store is sponsoring my clothing for all the events I'm competing in (I will be wearing teal for ovarian cancer). I have each day of my training planned! My mom has 18 weeks of chemotherapy and I have 19 weeks of training. Together we will conquer this! We are both in training – training for our lives! I wake up every day thankful – thankful for the MaxForm Life Challenge that taught me push forward and for the awesome supporters I've gathered along the way! We are all caterpillars
